You're being honored, guest of honor.

I know there's going to be a lot of talk about the governor's race and midterm strategy, big wins like Prop 50 and what's going on with redistricting.

We've seen pushes all over the country, Colorado and Maryland, though there seems to be opposition from the head of the state Senate there.

I think it was pretty good.

But I, you know, you talk about the integrity of the elections and that's a major anxiety that people have, especially with Trump saying we're going to send ICE to the polls, etc.

But I know that a lot of people are really nervous actually about that period after the election, if Democrats win and if it's close, that we could have a redux of 2020 where there's, you know, recounts.

They say that there is fraud and Mike Johnson is no Mike Pence.

So is there a plan for that?

I mean, he waited, what, two months to see Congresswoman Grijalva when she won a free and fair election.

Do we have I know you what do you say?

Next week is the State of the Union.

Yeah.

Are you planning on going?

Yeah, not the hot ticket in town.

I wanted to ask you, and I'm sure you're very aware of how memeable many of your iconic moments throughout your career have been, you know, walking out of the West Wing in the red coat, putting on your shades, ripping up the State of the Union, the clap.

So a lot of action in the chamber.

What moment or moments feel iconic to you about your career?

your career as you think about your last year in office?
